Description
After JDK-7198070 reflection is used to provide access to @ConstructorProperties from java.management classes.

This approach is not optimal in the modular world.

There already exists the sun.misc.SharedSecrets class enabling to effectively define optional dependencies allowing a safe access across module boundaries. The code in java.management package using the @ConstructorProperties annotation should be updated to use this mechanism instead.
Comments
The proper functionality of introspecting @ConstructorProperties annotated types is covered by a bunch of existing JMX tests.
